Believe It R & D Flexible Shaft Coupling F/5" B/w, Hurth - 8hp/100rpm Capacity Series [KMb4cJ0z]

R & D Flexible Shaft Coupling for 5" B/W

The R & D Flexible Shaft Coupling is designed for robust performance in marine applications, providing a reliable connection between the transmission output flange and shaft coupling. Engineered with a contoured flexible disc, this coupling is crafted from a resilient new type polyurethane, ensuring durability and flexibility. Its innovative design allows for the absorption of vibrations, temporary misalignments, and shock loads, making it an ideal choice for protecting a boat's drivetrain. The coupling features a fail-safe mechanism that maintains drive functionality in both forward and reverse, even in the event of a disc failure.

• High-quality polyurethane disc for flexibility and durability
• Reduced vibration and noise for a quieter drivetrain

Technical Specifications and Properties

This flexible shaft coupling is specifically designed for a 5" B/W (between worm and shaft) and has a capacity of 8HP/100RPM, making it suitable for a variety of marine engines. It is equipped with forward thrust taken in compression on the disc between the two half couplings and reverse thrust taken in compression on the disc between the two fail straps. The polyurethane disc, supported by two metal compression straps, ensures the coupling maintains constant compression, extending the system's lifespan and providing a durable solution for your marine drivetrain.

• Contoured flexible disc for misalignment compensation
• Steel straps for fail-safe design and shock load absorption

Practical Uses and Benefits

The R & D Marine Flexible Coupling is an essential component for any marine engine setup, offering numerous practical benefits. It not only reduces drivetrain noise and vibration but also absorbs transmission shock loads, protecting against costly transmission damage. With its fail-safe design, this coupling ensures that your boat's drivetrain remains functional in both forward and reverse, providing peace of mind and reliable performance. Whether you are a professional mariner or an avid boater, this coupling is designed to meet your needs, offering a reliable solution for maintaining your boat's drivetrain health.

• Reduces drivetrain noise and vibration for a smoother ride
• Protects against transmission damage from shock loads
